I support a number of initiatives that I think would help ensure access to stable, reliable sources of energy for our country's economy so it can continue to grow. That means conservation, and we just had an amendment that sets a target of conserving some 1 billion gallons of gasoline in our automotive industries over the next decade. We also need to make sure we have good, sound infrastructure for transporting electricity or natural gas across State lines and around the country. We want a good strong electricity title. That has been the effort and the work of the Energy Committee. We need to make sure we streamline and reduce unnecessary regulations. Of course, I believe, as I hope most Americans do, that we need access to new energy sources and new energy reserves, and that is why I supported exploration in the northern slope of Alaska.
